Premier League rookie wants to bring Mourinho back to England

Under the German, Leeds have enjoyed an impressive season in the Championship, picking up 94 points with two games in hand. However, despite this, the club’s board, led by 49ers Enterprises, the American group that owns the club, still have doubts about Farke’s ability to survive in England’s fiercest competition.

Mail Sport understands that Elland Road bosses are quietly assessing potential replacements, although no final decision has been made. They are well aware that sacking the manager who just led the club to promotion could spark a backlash from fans. However, Farke's poor record in the Premier League, particularly his two seasons with Norwich City, is causing concern for Leeds' board.

Farke failed to make the grade in the Premier League.

In this context, potential candidates to replace Farke are being considered. Jose Mourinho has been mentioned. If the Special One cannot be convinced, the Leeds board will look for a less well-known name, similar to how Bournemouth succeeded with Andoni Iraola. In fact, Leeds had approached the Spaniard before appointing Farke, but failed due to resistance from Rayo Vallecano.

The choice between stability and change is becoming a difficult one. If Leeds sack Farke and fail to find a suitable replacement, or if his successor does not start well, the atmosphere at Elland Road could quickly deteriorate. Next season will be particularly tough as the club needs to build a squad capable of competing in the Premier League while still adhering to the league’s strict financial regulations.

Leeds are expected to spend in excess of £100m, a huge sum given their current financial situation, especially with just two seasons in the lower leagues and a drop in revenues. Selling players and reinvesting wisely is a must. In addition, the Elland Road expansion project is also underway, adding to the financial pressure, although infrastructure costs are not included in the PSR (Profitability and Sustainability Rules) limits.
